Hello all,
I am soon to be starting a business and I was hopeing I might get some advice on which phone would best suit my needs. I am placing this in this forum because I currently own the Touch Pro 2, but so far for only a week. I still have three weeks to swap if need be.
For my business there are a few "must have" and a few "would like to have" applications/abilities.
I am currently wondering which phone; the Touch Pro 2 or the Droid.
Here is what I need:
Quickbooks - Need to be able to access my quickbooks while out at a customers house. Reason being, I might need to update their Invoice, then print out a new one. Need to be able to run

Maps - This is also
very important. I need to be able to get directions to a customers house and also driving directions via a GPS unit. I know the TP2 can do this, but what I have searched for so far about it, it appears to be somewhat "iffy"? The Droid comes with this option according to my cousin who owns one.
C.C. Scanner - Need to be able to take Credit Cards. By having this option I open my payment options a bit. Not limiting the customer to cash/check only. This is the current unit that we are looking at. Click the "Phones & Hardware" tab, then scroll to the bottom to see the unit.

Home Screen - I
love my TP2 Home screen. Clock, weather, date, Call History all on the front.
Most important though is my calender of appointments right there on the first screen. The less button/icons I have to tap to get to these appt. the better. From my research so far, the droid can also do this, but requires some "unlocking" of the phone.

Internet Browser - Accessing the internet is a must, due to having to look up some info for the job. It is almost guarenteed that I will need to look up some information on how to do something, and a set of forums I am part of, has the answers. So a good browser would be nice. Right now this Opera 9 is bugging the crap out of me. I know there is an update and better version out there for the TP2, but I didn't want to mess with it if I might be trading this in.
Those would be the main functions I can think of right now that I would
need. Other things I would like, but aren't neccessary, would be:
Excel speadsheets - looking at and
maybe editing
You Tube - instructional videos, new equipment videos etc.
Printing - ability to print the new Invoice
T.V. - Only for when I travel and having nothing to do at the hotel
I thank you for your time and I am sorry if this is not the right place to ask this, I just figured who better to ask then the "addicted" modding community
. You guys are all over these phones, and the Verizon folks in the stores just stare at me with a blank expression when I ask them about this stuff.
Again, thank you very much,
M
